Once again, someone alerted me to Colin Cowherd's ongoing identity crisis made into radio. He spent a half an hour on some bizarre Ayn Rand rant, including these comments:

"Welfare is for losers. It's something that weak people use for a crutch. A lot of people won't say it, but they think it. A lot of people who are successful financially or spiritually, just don't accept handouts."

"Guys who push the envelope get the hot chicks. Let's deal with it, the studies are out."

"Guys are more honest with their feelings than girls. Girls say one thing but really want another."

"Look at divorces and who's filing for them. Who really has infidelity issues."

"American men tend to be more aggressive. American men go get what they want. European men are slow."

"You know what? Offend everybody. People don't watch classy. They watch interesting."

"In life, folks, pick a team, take a side. Do, don't think."

"I'm not buying anything American because it's American. That's un-American."

"One out of ten people in society deserve to be treated poorly."

And somehow this all relates to:

"I don't think NBA players should be in the Olympics. I think it's a fraud."

In order, I believe we've got Ann Coulter, your standard beefcake, a rapist, the angry soul, a xenophobe, Jerry Springer, George W. Bush, a libertarian, a sadist and Jason Whitlock.
 
The first seven quotes are so bereft of empathy, factuality and logic...... that I understand why he appeals to most of this country.
 
Collin Cowherd, American.

My radio has this little button on it which renders such ceaseless jabber moot, and mute.
 
So let me get this straight...a lot of people who are successful financially aren't on welfare?
 
Now that Mark Madden in jobless, Cowherd may be the biggest douche in this business...
 
There was a span when I liked listening to Colin. Right around the time of his divorce, the show moved in an unsettling direction.

It's painful to hear him now.

Finally, something Mizzou and I can agree on.
 
He's tolerable during college football season but is at a loss to fill the other eight months. A couple weeks ago he gave his five upsets for the upcoming season. Dude, no one can digest that in early June.

I feel dirty when I listen to Cowherd.

One of my friends said, "He just sounds like a date-rapist."
 
Good God. That whole rant sounds like worst angry drunk ever. Or someone strung out on coke.

The show openly degrades women.

Based on the things he's said about interns and other women who work on the show I'm surprised there haven't been countless sexual harrassment lawsuits.
 
There are better people in the radio biz to steal shtick from than Tom Leykis. I'd say bitter, angry white guy talk doesn't work on the radio, but I know better.
